Tis the Season

Splendid party at the Manor last night - Mother outdid herself, as ever. The winter garden was particularly festive, with an arrangement of lights, charms, and other delights. The band played until the sun came up, since everyone was loathe to stop dancing and celebrating, so you might say that the party didn't actually end until after breakfast.

Many of the usual faces in attendance, of course, and it was good to see all of you.

Of course, those who were unable to make it were, with a few exceptions, missed. Best wishes for a Happy Christmas to you and yours.

Oh, you mean Phina K? She trained with Joosh! She's got a wonderful eye, I think.

But of course, you'd know her! She's Mr Krumgold's sister, isn't she? I remember Mum talking about how she and Gerard Joosh told her she couldn't possibly use 'Krumgold' in her line. Mum thought 'Seraphina K' would make a smashing label but she said that Ms Krumgold laughed and said she hasn't used 'Seraphina' in society in ages. And she thought, there are so few really quality designers in the Protectorate, why not go as simple as possible?

Yes, I think she's going to go far, too. It's that kind of vision that makes a really amazing designer. What colour were they? I bet you looked divine.

Yes, Phina. Since I know her I was fortunate enough to get couture.

The robes were a combination of cream lace and metallic silks. She does very intriguing things with contrasting textures. Quite edgy for some, but that's what I like, you know!

I think there's a photograph of Draco and I in the Prophet, if you'd like to see them.

The photo in the Prophet probably didn't do it justice by half, but you looked stunning, Daphs.
